operate and would have to be increased.
But any increase in fees such as
this has to’ go through the administration
and this takes time. By
the time the societies
began to
receive
money,
many
of them
would
have
been
severely
weakened.
As an example of the importance
of the federation
to the societies,
Engsoc “A” was to receive from
the federation
the following
amounts this term:
-1ec ture series, $200:
-film
series, $100.
-A.P.E.O.
conference,
$200.
-C.C.E.S.
conference,
$500,
By the time of the referendum,
most of the above money would
already have been paid out. But
the APE0
conference
does not
come until march. If the federation
were to lose the referendum
Engsoc
might not receive
this
amount. Such an occurence might
completely
stop the society sending’ delegates to the conference.
In the past, Engsoc
has had
many disagreements
with the
federation of students. These have
arisen
due to a lack of communication
between
the two, a
great lack of representation
by
either at the councils of the other
and the fact that engineering
students are on campus for only
four months at a stretch.
However
in recent terms
this
situation has been improved
and
there were many disagreements
and misunderstandings
eliminated
last term by Engsoc
“B”.
This
work is being continued this term
by “A” as well as Engsoc improving
its links with the other
societies on campus.
Gino Nicolini summed it up in an
interview with a chevron reporter,
“I hope that the compulsory
f.ee as
it is remains. Because if it doesn’t
we have more to lose than we have
to gain. If the referendum
is
defeated, if people vote for compulsory voluntary
fees, then the
federation
will probably
be very
close to the edge of collapse. If the
referendum
succeeds
and compulsory fees remain I would hope
that the progress that we in Engsoc
have made in communication
with
’ the federation
will continue
to
grow.”

PoIiSci collective: faculty counted on stude-nt apathy
(Just before the holiday break, the chevron
carried several articles about demands from
members of the Political Science Union-PSUfor a PoliSci collective
and then counterdemands for a more democratic representation.
of the students in the PSU itself. In this article,
PoliSci undergrad Renzo Bernardini
explains
why all is now quiet on the PoliSci front-and
why it may not stay quiet.)
The political
science
department
has
once again quieted
down.
The original
issue had a quality
that could only give
rise to short-run
anomie
behaviour.
And
so it did. Now that the minor
problem,,
has been ironed out, there are no longer
any immediate
issues that could call for
further
action.
We should not be surprised
at this kind
of undirected
spontaneity.
Historically
when students
have attempted
to raise
consciousness
or to stimulate
interest
and activity
among
the mass of the
university
community,
they experienced
general
apathy,
lack of support,
and
unwillingness
to get involved.
Thus as soon as the university
was able
to shift its equilibrium
to accomodate
an
appropriate
solution
to the immediate
issues,
one
could
notice
a general
petering
out of interest.
The cork was
placed
on the bottle.
No one worried
about
the bottle
and i‘ts content.
‘The
mixture was left to ferment
under the cap
of institutionalized
repression.
One
of
these days the cork is bound to blow off

again. If the cork has been placed very
securely the bottle is eventually
bound to
explode.
Within
the
dynamics
of a liberal’
democratic
institution
each
party
pursues
its own interests
often
at the
expense
of other
people
who
become
involved
in the process. Faculty members
must hold on to their
security
and so
must students.
The faculty
has by and
large kept quiet about the affairs
of the
collective
to the point of ignoring
it. The
claim
has been that
it was not
institutionalized
hence
it could
not be
legitimate.
Furthermore,
the
faculty
probably
counted
on the very likely possibility
of
general
apathy
among
the
students.
Work loads, incompletes,
deadlines,
and
a general
lack of willingness
to get involved;
this is what the faculty
must have
counted
on from the students,
and they
were correct.
Why, with all these burdens
a student
could
not possibly
have time to worry
about getting
involved
in the process
of
determining
his own experience...it’s
so
much
easier
to
let
someone
else
determine
their
experience
for
them.
Think of the responsibility
that would
be
placed on a person’s shoulders
if he were
not spoon
fed and led by the hand!
Besides
the norms
of the majority
of
students
centre
around
getting
the
required
credits as quickly
and easily as

possible
so that they may graduate.
Under
a collective
system
faculty
would
be relegated
to performing
the
function
of resource
people. They would
become
involved
in the
process
of
allocating
resources
only
as equal
partners
with the-rest
of the students
in
the department.
Students
would
have to
come to grips with the responsibility
of
allocating
resources...
something
that is
so much easier to let someone
else do for
them.
With the establishment
of a collective
department,
the faculty
would lose their
power
in
the
bureaucracy
of
the
university.
At the same time both the
students
and, the, faculty
would
of
necessity
become
more
responsible
in
the
decision
making
process
of the
department.

Some positions
A large number of students
and faculty
have expressed
the sentiment
that they at
least
recognize
the
superiority
of a
collective
learning
process.
Each has his
own reservations
and these are generally
well founded.
To my mind they represent
shifts of emphasis
on the multitude
of
problems
in operationalizing
a collective
department.
But everyone
has acted as though
his
particular
fetish
represents
a clear
and
distinct
position
of
principle
in

relationship
to
the
proble,ms
of
establishing
a collective
department.
Thus instead
of uniting
themselves
they
have separated.
Some have expressed
the opinion
that
what must be done first is to change
the
structure
of the department
in order that
resources
may be aIIbcated
collectively
by both students
and faculty.
Some will maintain
that the immediate
task
lies in developing
a principled
philosophy
that would
serve as a guideline for operationalization.
Others
would
like to place the focus
on
the
relationship
between
the
university,
the
department,
and
the
totality
and universality
of the society
within
which
it exists.
Some other
people
would
maintain
that the department
is already
most open
to the participation
from students
in the
allocation
of resources.
Indeed, it can be
shown empirically
that some students
in
this department
have
had a good
influence
on the ‘department’s
decisionmaking
process.
These
people
would
maintain
that a collective
department
will evolve out of successful
experiments
in collective
learning,
research,
and
participation
in the operation
of the
department.
What
they
forget
is that
until
now
students
have
participated
only within the good grace of the faculty.
In reality they have had no responsibility
over the final decision
making
process.

REFERENDUM
72

by brute

Engsoc
It can no longer be a secret to
any student on this campus that
his rights, privileges and voice, as
a member
of this
university
community,
are in jeopardy.
The
time has arrived for a no-nonsense
indication
of our true thoughts
about an effective
student
representation
at Waterloo.
The problem, simply
stated,
is one of
genuine
partnership
in the
decision-making
process
at this
university.
On february 23,1972 you will be
asked
to make
known
your
alle’giance. February
23 is the date
when the students
of uniwat will
elect to determine
their
confidence in a strong student
voice
through
a solid
and solvent
Federation.
The question before you on’ the
referendum
ballot is whether
or
o not you want the present
compulsory
student
activity
fee of
twenty-two
dollars
per annum
made optional. However, the much
larger question
at stake here is
the very
existenceof student
activities
and
services
as
presently
provided,
by ourselves
for ourselves, through the Federation of Students.
Clearly,
the
alternative
to a Federation
of
Students
is for us to allow the
university
administration
to arbitrarily implement a “fee” of $25,
$30, or $50 per year-out
of which
sum they will impose their concept
of sports, social and cultural ‘progammes.
This option, quite obviously,
does not allow for any
recourse
by the students
(that is,

the person
paying)
regarding
general
budget
allocations;
priorities
of recreational,
social or
cultural
events;
and specific
student
services
to be provided.
It is my sincere hope that before

CAMPUS FORUM What would the loss of the federation’ of students mean to you?by helmutt

John Larocque

The loss of the federation
would
mean the loss of potential vehicles
of change in the political structure
of the university.
The engineered
loss of this potential
vehicle can
only
be
interpreted
as
authoritarian
and bureaucratic
on
the part of the administration
to
further
remove from the students
any possibility
of constructive
self
determination
and change.
There is an element of thought
on campus
that
parts
of the
federation
itself are “on the take”
so to speak. They have been coopted by the administration
and
are simply
unwitting
lackeys
of
authoritarian
bureaucracy.
And
there is also another
school of
thought that certain members are
not only unwitting
dupes of the
administration
but are definitely
consciously
in league with the
administration.

If there was no federation
there
would
be no support
for the

would be in a
poor position for bargaining
with
the administration.
Students
are
generally
unaware
of what the
federation
is doing for them and
don’t seem to care. This apathy
and alienation could be accredited
to the current federation’s
policies
of closed
elitist
control.
The
federation
should be open to and

of all student
needs. They should be carrying out

All we have to do is look at

the student

for one reason

something
that will take its place

As I’m a graduating

if the vote indicates
a preference
for voluntary

and the
students
will find that they are

a great deal of services

they

This vote was precipitated
by a
group of fourth year engineers
in
february
of 1971
who
were
displeased
with bperation
of the
federation
perhaps without much
thought
of the consequence
of a
voluntary
fee, the ‘consequences
being what I’ve just mentioned.

The Canadian Council on Social
Development
has published a twopart
report,
with
recommendations,
of an inquiry during
the summer
of 1971 on transient
youth Opportunities
for Youth.
The report says that since the
transient
youth situation
has apparently
stabilized,
the federal
government
should
solidfy
its
commitment
in the field of transient youth and concentrate
on
filling the gaps and inadequacies
in
services.
It urges that OFY be
continued
in 1972, with further
innovations.
The Council’s assessment of last
summer’s
youth
programs,
carried out in july and august, was
published december
14 under the
title Youth ‘71. The report contains
12 recommendations
on transient
youth and 14. on OFY which have
been forwarded
to the Secretary of
State.
“It is imperative
that the Opportunities
for Youth program
be
continued,
with
further
experimentation”,
says Reuben C.
Baetz, executive
director
of the
Council. “The overall impression
gained in. our inquiry is that the
1971 Opportunities
for Youth
program enjoyed general public acceptance
and created
strong
student identity
and satisfaction
with the specific projects in which
they were involved, even if it did
not always meet their financial
requirements.
However, it is much
more difficult to assess the value to
the intended recipients of services
of some of the projects with social
service
components.
Our impression
is that many projects
were most helpful, whereas others,
and particularly
those requiring
a
high degree of professional
skill
and treatment
of pathological
conditions,
were of much
less
value. Furture
projects
in these
areas
will require
very
close
collaboration
between youth and
the professional
involved.
“Clearly,
Canadians,
both
employed
and unemployed,
approve ‘work opportunity’
projects
of this nature”, said Mr. Baetz. “A
major reason, no -doubt, is that
most people are hooked on work,
and abhor idleness. Consequently,
an opportunities
program
would
seem to be a mutually
more acceptable way of dealing with the
unemployment
crisis, at least at
present,
than an indefinite
expansion
of existing
transfer
programs,
even’if
the latter are
more effective
in the short run”.
The council report recommends
that OFY 1972, while primarily
designed for students,
should be
open to all youth, and that the
provinces
should
develop
and
expand their own youth programs
in close collaboration
with the
federal government.
In line with
the criticism about communication
problems voiced by participants
in
the OFY program,
the report
recommends
that the program
in
1972
decentralize
its
administrative
procedures
on a
regional
basis,
and that consultants be attached
to regional
offices
to help with
special
problems.
The report
says that
perhaps the most criticized
aspect
of the project
selection
process
was
the
failure
of
OFY
bureaucracy
to communicate
with
and seek advice from “community
reference points”. Social agencies
complained
that
they
were
necessary
partners
once projects
got under way, but that they had
not
been
called
upon
for
suggestions
or advice
in the

studied

planning stages.
The report
stresses
that attention should be given to longer
term projects for youth in general,
as well
as summer
student
projects,
and that’ students
be
enabled to participate
in some
projects
on a part-time
basis
throughout
the school year.
“For transient
youth, we urge
the expansion and improvement
of
existing
services
and a consolidation
of federal government
commitment
in the field,”
says
Mr. Baetz. “After
three years of
studying
. the transient
youth
phenomenon,
we are prepared
to
state that from our observation
the
situation has stabilized. Compared
to the summer of 1969 and 1970,
there was much less effort
at
confrontation
between
adult
society and the counter
culture
adopted by many youth. The underlying
suspicion
and overt
hostility
to transients
which
marredearly
attempts to establish
hostels and services,
and which
was reciprocated
by many transients, has largely
disappeared.
Attitudes
of police toward
transients and conversely
of transients
to law enforcement
agencies have
softened.
The drug
scene
is
quieter. This may be due to less
inclination
on the part’ of communities to press the panic button
on this issue or to less use of drugs
for non-medical
purposes
or a
combination
of both. There seems
to be much more consensus on the
appropriate
roles
of federal,
provincial
and local governments,
community
groups,
and youth
themselves.
“Our principal recommendation
is for a network of youth hostels
that is federally
financed
and
guided by uniform,
but flexible,
standards
across
the country.
What we have now is approaching
a national network, in that all local
communities
were able to apply
for federal funds for hostels and
services
this year,
but there
continue to be some serious gaps
and inadequacies
that should be
filled. Emergency
dental care, for
example, is needed for transient
youth.
Local
organizing
committees
should urge local and
provincial
dental associations
to
establish
such programs
as a
public service.
“Young people want to travel.
Although
about one-third
of the
-youth in our survey sample told us
they would have worked if jobs had
been available,
another 60.8 per
cent
said
they
would
have
travelled
anyway.
“Our report shows that most of
the young people appreciated
the
improved accommodation
in 1971:
more than 80 percent preferred the
1971 hostels to the 1970 armouries.
Criticism
centres on the slowness
in approving
grants for hostels,
and the delays in actually getting
the funds. We recommend
that the
amount of the federal grant be set
in advance,
and that it be paid
before the opening of the hostel.
We should like to urge, too, that
organization
of the hostels
be
handled by a local committee,
representing
various sectors of the
community,
including youth.”
The information
kiosk program
should be dropped, the report
states. “The formula seemed more
suitable
to carrying
out some
propaganda
purposel
for the
federal
government
than
in
meeting the real needs of transient
youth”.
It proposes
instead that
the federal government
finance
central
youth
information
and
referral
services in larger urban
communities.
Such a service
should operate a housing registry
and referral
program,
as well as
provide information
and referral
on medical, legal, drug, welfare
and other necessary
services.

Doctoral

despite

;province

by Una O’Callaghan
the chevron

The history department’s
new doctoral program
will finally get under way next September, with the
admission of five doctoral candidates.
The program
was approved
by Senate before,
Christmas despite the Ontario government’s
embargo
on new graduate programs.
As long as the embargo continues history will lose
out on the BIU funds which doctoral
candidates
usually generate, and the candidated themselves
will
not qualify for Ontario government
grants. But the
history department
is not too concerned about BIU’s.
They have decided to go ahead with the program and
have the full backing
of President
Matthews
and
Senate. “We’ve hired the faculty for the program,
first
class people with distinguished
academic
records,
some of whom have experience
in PhD
programs”,
says history chairman
D.N. Baker.
History
has also been building
up a research
library to the tune of half-a-million
dollars, and has
lured a number of high calibre academics
to the
department.
Among those are professor John New, a
specialist
in Tudor-Stuart
studies, professor
G.M.
Ostrander,
a specialist
in american
social and intellectual history, and professor Donald Lammers,
a
specialist in European diplomatic
history.
A number of- promising
young people have also
joined the department
such as Richard
Guisso, a
Lieutenant
Governor
Award
winner
from
the
university
of Toronto, James Walker who specializes
in third world studies and Donald Horton who
specializes in French Canadian history.
These new
additions
combined
with the more longstanding
members of the department
make for a pretty impressive group. As the students put it, “history is the
most dynamic
department
on this campus
these
days.”
Baker stresses that the launching of the program is
not an act of defiance. The program was favorably
appraised last apri,l but fell under the general embargo by the government
last march. He addes that
the argument about overproduction
of PhD’s does not
apply in history.
During the 1958-68 period Ontario produced a total
of 58 PhD’s in history to fill 225 new positions. The

Parkings

university
of Toronto turned out 47 of these, Ottawa10, McMaster
1, and Queens, Western,
York and
Guelph none. If it’s like this in Ontario its probably
worse in the rest of the country”,
he stated. It’s
simply
not true that Canadian
universities
are
producing
too many historians,”
Baker says. The
program
which will be brought before senate for,
reassessment
after a one year trial period, will
specialize in the following areas.
0 European history, from the renaissance
era to
the present.
l Canadian and American
history, from european
discovery
to the present;
l British history, late medieval,
early modern, and
modern.
l Imperial
history
and indigenous
people’s
responses.
Apart from the loss of funds to the department
Baker feels that the embargo won’t affect the dot-I
toral candidates
very much.
“Only high calibre
people will be admitted
to the program
many of
whom whill probable
have scholarships
anyway.
Also, we can pay students for services rendered, offer
sessional appointments,
and get support from outside.
granting agencies such as Canada Council,” he says.
Only students holding an MA or M Phil with A
standing will be admitted into the program.
Since all
candidates
cannot be admitted
however,
special
attention will be paid to the appropriateness
of the
departments
areas to the students proposed fields of
study. Fluency in one language other than English is
.a minimum
requirement.
The program will differ somewhat from traditional
PhD programs
in that students will write a series of
papers (of publishable or near publishable quality) in
both their major and minor fields. These papers will
replace the usual comprehensive
examination,
and
do-away with the normal course work:’
Also, the candidate will work under a supervising
committee
(rather than one supervisor)
which will
establish the candidates course, language and essay
requirements.
To date the department
has received
ten applications for the program,
eight of which are from
outside Waterloo.

appeals

Campus drivers who feel they’re
being taken by the new parking
regulations may not be aware that
an appeals committee
exists to
hear their cases.
The appeals group-consisting
of
one student, a faculty member and
a staff representative-meets
!once
a month to judge letters of appeal
on all parking violations.
A traffic
supervisor
from
security
also appears
at the
‘meetings to explain the rules and
the details of the infractions.
Students are not invited to- appear in defense of their appealsare not, in fact, even told when the
meetings
are to be held-and
faculty
rep R.L.
Porter
feels
personal appearances
might make
the appeals
procedure
too unwieldy.
“I’ve never even thought about
it,” he said, “but I’m not sure it’s a
good idea. The meetings might go
on a day or more.”
Porter
said that some angry
motorists have come to committee
members “and the arguments
just
went in cycles, both sides simply
repeating
their points over and
over.”
Porter and A.E. Wickson,
the
staff
rep
from
engineering
machine shop, have been on the
committee
for about three years.
The student member
is Dave
Blaney,
federation
council
member who took the seat when
vice-president
Carl
Sulliman
resigned last fall.
Porter sees the committee
as an
“excellent”
setup, since faculty,
staff and students
ar!e equally
represented-meaning
one eachbut Blaney considers it a less than
satisfactory
situation.
“No one should be able to sit on
the board unless they have to walk

campus,”
Bla$ney suggested.
“In that case, only students
would be on the committee.
It’s
fairly
easy for the other
two
(representatives)
to be consistently
hard-headed
about the
appeals,
since they are allotted the
-best parking spots.”
Blaney said that since most of
the appeals are from students, the
vote generally comes down to the
student
rep voting
against
the
other two members.
But, according
to Porter,
the
three members have always gotten
along well and are generally
in
agreement
in the voting.
“We don’t make the rules and we
can’t decide how fair they are,”
.Porter explained.
“We can only
judge as to whether or not the rules
were broken.”
Said Blaney : “We can never
cope with the absurdity
of some of
the rules, so its kind of futile.”
Porter told the chevron that he
has “serious
reservations”
about
<parts of the new towing policy.
“I can’t say that I’m against
towing as a policy,” he said, “But I
can see a case against taking the

cars all the way to Bridgeport.
I’m not sure how a private
pany

And

to do that,"

Although
the university
gets
none of the money from the towing,
Porter
said he was not sure a
return to the ticket svstem would
accomplish
any good:
“After
all, a lot of people just
never
bothered
to pay tickets
before the controlled-access
lots
were in force.
“In
fact, one professor
had
boasted all over about the large
number
of tickets
he had accumulated
over his years here.”
Porter
and Blaney
estimated
that about
12-15 appeals
are
handled a month, with perhaps a
quarter of those approved on the
average.
There is a president’s
advisory
group which has the power to
change the regulations
and,’ until
then, the appeals committee
can
only continue to decide infractions
of existing regulations.
But, as Porter
suggested,
“I
don’t
understand
why
the
university
can’t just tow cars to
someplace on campus.”

The youth adult program (YAP)
based in the Fat Angel drop-in
centre is presently
expanding
its
services to the young drop-outs in
the twin cities. It is doing so with
grants recently
received
through.
the
federal
winter
works
’
programme
and the department
of
national health and welfare.
YAP was formed in September of
1970 through Conestoga college in
an attempt
to offer
a viable
alternative
in creative learning to
those who found it difficult
or
impossible to remain in the normal
high school system.
Although .operating with relative
success there was a real possibility
of the programme
folding last
spring when Conestoga college was
forced to cut supporting
funds due
to the tightening of the provincial
department
of education.
Since
then “a small nucleus of people
including
Paul Rubin, who was
associate director last year, have
stayed
on as part-time
coordinators
of
a
skeleton
programme
with about ten participants.
At present,
with seven hired
resource
persons the number
of
persons is to be allowed to raise to
about 25 persons. The activities
and courses in which persons can
become involved is hoped to- be as
diverse as the participants
interest
dictates.
For example,
last year
many persons joined classes at
Waterloo Lutheran
university
for
various
courses
including
psychology,
philosophy,
history,
sociology,
religion and culture as
well as many seminar classes on
related topics and music and art
classes.
The programmes’
purpose
is
largely to provide a centre from
which the participant
is able to find
resources
by which to learn to
express himself. There has been a
favourable
expression
of interest
from ma ny workman
toward the
programme.
.
There
are
possibilities
of setting’ up apprenticeship
for various
trades
which the student may wish to , ,
enter.
While accredidation
is not the
direct
purpose
of YAP,
it is
possible to get tutorial instruction
in the various
arts and science
disciplines.
The aim of YAP is to function as
a cohesion unit without stifling the
individual
voice but rather
encouraging
it. Everyone
in the
programme
is to be accountaable
to the others in the sense that he or
she is free to pursue their own
ideas except in cases where it is ’
deemed impractical
by the others.
Such decisions are determined
by
the group in meetings where all
are present- and where both the
students and staff have the same.
vote. Therefore
the programme
is
to be both a community
in and of
itself but also a collection
of free
individuals
involving
themselves
and the outer
community
in
various efforts.
The youth adult programme
is
for persons interested in becoming
involved
in their own education
and willing to participate
with
others working toward this same
aend. Anyone interested
in participating or in just talking should
drop in to the fat angel and rap.

As a play, however,
it made a

realize Run is a comedy it is easy
to fill up the two hours the performance takes-all
you have to do

the farce is done as well as Run,
you may-- enjoy laughing.

Like all ‘old maids’,
this one, miss Skillon, is a village
gossip. She is very down on the

(reverend
Toop’s)
wife, an american ex-actress.
Miss

(to her) making out with
an american
soldier
on the
vicarage floor. Not true. They are
only acting out a fight scene from;
a play they used to do together.

Ian & Sylvia (Columbia
C30736)
have never been too concerned
about keeping up with the latest
pop fads, but have been content to
charm a steadily growing audience
with their own distinctive
brand of
“folk-rock.”
Their latest album is
characteristically
gentle,
quiet,
and chock full of what we older
flower children would describe as
“good vibes.”
Half of the songs were recorded
in Nashville and thus benefit from

cooks,
but steel guitarist
Weldon Myrick
deserves special mention for the
whiny, lonesome sound he coaxes
from his instrument-fantastic.
Also noteworthy
is “Midnight,”

a plaintive
Sylvia’s

songs
(“Lincoln

however,
are pretty
corny, wrapped in a stifling mantle
of mid-60’s self-righteousness,
and
a part of their repertoire
which the
Tysons should consider discarding,
or at least updating.
One final accolade for John Hill’s
string arrangements,
which are
unusual, in terms of many recent
pop releases,
in that they are
tasteful,
compatible
with Ian &
Sylvia’s
performance
style, and
never overbearing.
On the whole, a

Marc and Leon. . .you all come
back now, hear?
Morse Code Transmission
(RCA
LSP-4575) is a French-Canadian
group which has been spiffed up
for anglo consumption : translated,
, orchestrated,
and perhaps
even

normanmailered
and
~maxwelltaylored.
This is a rather
strange release, but don’t say the
liner notes didn’t warn you:
Those who prefer easy listening
as well as those who dig the
progressive
or gummer sounds can
easily identify
with
the Transmission.
They are non-offensive
yet somehow
retain
a strong
message identity
that permeates
the complete production.

“Non-offensive”
it largely
is,
offering Guess Who-Moody
Bluestype material
which defies any
effort to listen attentively:
hip
Muzak, except that it isn’t all that
hip. “Hunting
and Laughing,”
a
Canadian Cajun song, is a pleasant
idiosyncrasy,
as are two short,
Chopinesque pieces for piano, but
for the most part this is an album
which goes in one ear and out the
other.
“Freedom
Train,”
however,
is
an exceptional
three and a half
minutes of good music : a bona-fide
hard rocker,
with great organ
comping by Christian Simard and
a very
effective
Yardbirdsmysterioso
chorus. A full album of
this in French
(given

Simard’s
obvious
difficulty

lyrics) would be something to get
excited about, as well as a blow for
Canadian unity: so knock on it,
RCA, and disabuse yourselves
of
the notion that “Canadian content” ‘
means “English-Canadian
content.”
Finally,
a sad tale of musical
folly :
Once upon a time there was a
very high-energy
band called
“Quicksilver
Messenger Service, ’ ’
part of the great, west coast explosion which also produced
the
Grateful Dead and the Jefferson
Airplane.
All three bands had
difficulty in presenting their sound
on records
but “Q.M.S.”
was
originally
the most successful :
after a competent,
Electric
Flaginfluenced
first
album,
their
second
effort,
Happy
Trails,
captured one of the few valid extended works in rock history with
the 25minute “Who Do You Love”
variations
on Side One.
Then Nicky
Hopkins
replaced
Gary Duncan
and Quicksilver
became much more organized and
much less exciting.
They made
some very pretty music during this
period, but the thrill had gone:
they could still hold their own in a
jam with The Grateful
Dead, but
their
recorded
output
was
distressingly
mediocre.
Now Hopkins
has gone, and
Quicksilver
(Capitol SW-8191 9their
new album,
indicates
that the
remaining members of the band do
not possess sufficient
talent to
make it on their own. This music
stems mainly from the pen of Dino
Valente, and it is on a par with his
vocals : melodically
unexceptionable, harmonically
dull, indistinguishable
from
any other
indifferently
talented group you care
to mention. Sad.
Quicksilver
has listened-m-The
Grateful
Dead’s

isn’t Jerry Garcia ; “Don’t Cry My
Lady Lqve” makes it as a tribute
to The Everly Brothers
but that is
it as far as the musical pleasures of
Quicksilver
are concerned.
Forget
this, give Happy Trails a listen,
and think of what might have been.
Yes, those are the saddest words. . .

Hot Shit and Whoopee
The current wave of new blues
releases
indicates
that money
exists where formerly
there was
little more than heartache
and
darkness, studios and facilities are
open and people, well, people are
buying like mad once again. This
spurt leaves the ‘fan’ with yet
another set of tantalizing
choices
at his fingertips,
while anyone
whose interest
runs deeper is
placed in a more contradictory
position.
The public-ization
of blues
means both that there is more of it
available
and that the genre is
wide open to the distortions
of
commerce.
Money, support
and
good equipment
means the introduction of a lot of new talent and
the chance for creative
sessions
among the best in a manner not
formerly
possible;
a burgeoning
market
can also mean frenzied
recording and the full exploitation
of what is yet another saleable
commodity.
Somewhere
in the
middle the music may just get lost.

fruits rewarding
Happily
rewarding

the

initial fruits
are
and
‘McKinley
Morganfield
(Chess-9033-60006)
is
a prime example.
Essentially
a
compilation
of Muddy
Waters’
(also
known
as
McKinley
Morganf ield > finest pieces,
the
album stands as a collectors piece
in its own right; charting fully the
overpowering
presence of Waters,
it serves as a biographical
introduc tion.
The sweep of this double set
makes one immediately
conscious
of the huge debt of more recent
’ artists
to their less recognized
forebearers.
‘I Just Want To Make
Love To You’, one of the songs
which leant the first Stones lp its
innovative
punch, was little more
_ than a direct incorporation
of the
Waters’ arrangement,
speeded up
and showing less talent and depth.
Also Johnny Winter’s
version of
‘Rolling
and Tumbling’
should
perhaps be viewed as a tribute to
Muddy’s
skill
at putting
it
together.
The impact of Muddy’s
music
deprives
from its simplicity
and
depth, a result of the teaming of his
voice (try ‘Hoochie Coochie Man’)
and unique guitar work (Honey
Bee), which buzzes and ‘sails on’
with the superb harp, piercing and,
siren-like,
of men like Walter
‘Shakey’ Horton and the current
Paul Oscher.
Throw in, on occasion, the piano work of an Otis
Spann and little more need be said
concerning
the why and the
wherefore.

great listening
What remains is a whole twentyplus
years
of
superlative
listening-there
literally isn’t a cut
that doesn’t
recommend
itself
completely.
Add in the tender
crackle
of several
re-recorded
dusty 78 tracks
(one from about
1948), just for history’s
sake, and
the album is complete.
The final cut on side four, a live
version of ‘Got My Mojo Working’

(Muddy’s
theme) taken from the
1960 Newport
Festival,
opens up
another space that record companies are only too happy to fill. If
a group is good its real talent
shines
forth
in the live performance
more than in the synthetic atmosphere
of the recording
studio. Noting this, its but a ‘small
step to Muddy Waters Live (Chess903350012) which proves the point.
Recorded
at Mister
Kelly’s in
Chicago the album sidesteps
the
worst aspects of large crowd, live
performances
and develops a very
personal mood in the less frenetic,
more relaxed atmosphere
of the
bar. While the product of Waters
and Co.‘s labours is excellent, one
wonders
about
Muddy’s
perceptions of some of his listeners
from the occasionally
sarcastic
‘thankyou,
thankyou
very much’
thrown in at the end of each song,
coupled with an at-times
paltry
applause.
Nonetheless,
both
quickly warm to one another.

effortless talent
This time round Muddy makes it
with a number of really effortless
vocals and a competent
and uncluttered band that thrives on Joe
Perkins’
piano. Needless
to say
Oscher (the harp player that -did it
to the Waterloo
audience)
is
superb.

Cuts that really stand out are
‘Stormy
Monday
Blues’,
done
more
simply
but
no
less
emotionally
than the Allman
Brothers
recent version ; ‘Boom,
Boom’ which, while getting off to a
slow start, upstages Hooker’s later
renditions;
and ‘You Don’t Have
To Go’ a moving
Jimmy
Reed
number
featuring
Oscher
and
Waters outdoing one another such
that the audience wins.
One more mention-‘Strange
Woman’ is an absolutely
flawless
cut, slow and haunting, it forces
the listener to participate
fully in
the loneliness
and desire
expressed.
This experience
alone
makes the lp worthwhile.
On another tack, its one hell of a
long way from the smoke-filled,
dingy surroundings
of Silvio’s (a
tattered old ‘Howlin’ Wolf’ sign on
the wall),
packed
with people
throwing back the Schlitz as hard
as they can go, to the bright and
regal setting of London’s Olympic
Studios,
all
a-chatter
with
technology,
studio musicians
and
the glug-glug of coca cola. It must
seem a much greater distance if

London

musical Victorianism
Maybe its some sort of musical
vie torianism,
but the so-called
super sessions have often struck
me as rather
superficial,
concocted efforts that preyed quite
nicely on starved audiences. Not so
much attaining new levels of excellence
as exhibiting
semicompetent
jamming with a lot of
technical rebuilding after the fact,
with horns thrown in to takeoff the
sore spots, the musical result is not -so much bad as just plain easy for
those involved-contrived
in fact.
Even given the seemingly
unbridgeable
and over-developed
specialization
of the participantsClapton, Winwood, Wyman, Watts
and a negro blues vocalist-the
Wolf Sessions come off as more
than just a technological
fudge
job-much
more. To be simply
fair,
the
above
mentioned
supercast gets it on in superlative
fashion,
showing
a tremendous
amount of collective musicianship.
Back this up with fine recording
and a bevy of really good backup
artists and you’ve got a record
thats more than worth it.
The main achievement
is the
pairing of Clapton and the Wolf.
Old Wolf brought
along that
horrendous
voice-throat
like a
dusty country road with a bag of
gravel for a larynx’maintaining
all its brooding,
moody quality
while leaving the rougher edges
behind; Clapton packed up all that
sheer guitar
ability,
left home
almost all of his electrically
inspired
pseudo-flourishes
and
played straight,
gripping,
bluesy
guitar.
Needless to say all the cuts are
good. Even the unnecessary
inclusion of 1:58 worth
of ‘Red
Rooster’
warmup,
chock full of
‘c’mon man’ and ‘really man’, presumably for those who are hung on
musical chintz, can be disregarded
for the stellar qualities of the song
itself.

I haven’t listened to Wolf all that
much, in the past, but when I have
heard him his voice has always
dominated
the performance.
Its
sheer
power
and
grating
penetration often swamp the band
accompanying
him, rendering
what ’ is usually
quite
good
musicianship
secondary. The Wolf
Sessions team him with enough
(drive and talent, perhaps for the
first
time, to produce
a performance
that is integrated
and
egalitarian
through and through.
All this may sound like rank
heresy,
but catch
a cut like
“Rockin’
Daddy”,
where Clapton
is all timing and expertise
and
even Wolf ‘lets us down easy, jus’
like jelly on a plate.’

HE TASK set for a.ny group of individuals,
no
matter what social position
or affluence,
to study
a basic,
perhaps
in this case the most
basic,
deficiency
in our political-economic
system
is in
itself an extremely
difficult
one.
But an investigation
which
is carried
out under
the non-verbal,
yet accepted,
restriction
that no
action
is to be suggested
or taken which
could
possibly
shake the foundations
of the existing
system too seriously
is automatically
handicapped
by a pair of blinkers,
preventing
an honest
approach to the problem.
it seems that this method
of approach
is the”accepted
algorithm
which
is
employed
by the numerous
royal
commissions
and
special
committees
established
by
the
Canadian govern’ment
to study the many different
problems
our society
faces.
The handicap
is, succinctly,
the premise
that
the system
that we have created,
the politicaleconomic
superstructure
if you will, is basicly
beneficial.
The questioning
of our principle
ethics
y and goals is never
allowed
to disturb
the ‘nonoffensive’
investigations
and recommendations
of
the various
commissions
or task forces.
Unfortunately
for the people
of Canada,
and
the report
of the special
especially
the poor,
senate committee
on poverty,
Poverty
in Canada,
seems to exhibit
the above
flaw. As the report
states
“the
committee’s
mandate
was to ‘investigate
and report
on all aspects of‘ poverty
in
Canada’
“.
i
“Such an investigation
involves
a study not only
of the effects
but also the causes
of povertyspecifically
a study
of how
our society
and
economy
not only
tolerate
poverty
but
also
create,
sustain,
and even aggravate
- it.”
In the above passage the committee
defines it’s
task, as seen by the members,
and if the investigation
had been carried
out along these
lines,
there would have been the distinct
possibility
of a
new and much
more realistic
approach
to the
economic
disparities
in Canada.
But after
an
examination
of the final recommendations
put
forward,
the ass’essment
of society
as defined
above
seems conspicuous
by it’s absente.
The content
of the report does however,
present
a vivid picture of the desolation
and despair faced

by the poor in Canada-especially
that of the
working
poor-ahd
the abhorrant
state that our
welfare
system and social services
are in, but the
conclusions
and recommendations
drawn
from
these facts seem hollowly
impotent.
The poor were not- provided
with any kind of
explanation
for their
plight;
as the Renegade
Report
on Poverty
put
it: “what
he (David
‘Croll)
really
wanted
was
a rather
maudlin
discussion
of what it was like to be poor, an indignant
denunciation
of the inadequacies
of *the
current
welfare
system,
followed
by a call for a
guaranteed
annual income.
He certainly
did not
want to tell people why they were poor.

B

,EFORE
PROCEEDING
-further
with
this
&&ssion
it is necessary
to pass on an observation
made during the reading of both reports;
the striking
similarity,
not only in format
and data,
but also to the point of completely
duplicated
passages between
the two, is disquieting.
For a
“counter-report”
the Renegade
Report on Poverty
is
not
exactly
-the
renegade
it
paints
itself up to be, and the difference
is even less
noticable
when one gets into the body of both
reports.
T~l-Gintroduction
to the
unofficial
repbrt,
published
in the Last P&t,
summer,
1972, does
point out the deficiency
in the senate report,
in
‘that it does not tadkle
the question
of why the
poor are poor,
however,
its own discussion
of
‘poverty
is identical
in almost every point to the
report it is criticizing.
The differences
which
shall
be referred
to here will be those aspects, which on
the one
hand, _within
the senat$
report
are’
restricted
by the political
biases of it’s members,
while
in the renegade
report
are often
more
realistically
presented,
in a slightly
less harmless
manner.
The main body
of Poverty
in Canada deals
with the position
of the poor in canada,
as they
are today,
not only economically,
but also their
situation
in the education
system, welfare
system
and
legal
system-generally,
their
inferior
position
in terms of Canadian society
as a whole.
The picture
of Canada’s
poor is that of those who
have been left behind, and furthermore,
those left
behind
with
little hope of regaining
economic
stability
and the opportunity
for a meaningful
existence.
Within
the lengthy
description
of the poor, the
fallaciousness
of many of the myths upon which
r.anadian
society
is founded
is readily
brought
out, and substantiated
by a considerable
amount
of data. The misconception
which
is perpetrated
by the longstanding
protestant
work ethic-that
by dint
of hard
work
we
can
survive,
and
prosper-is
soundly
repudiated.
The image of the
poor as shiftless,
unambitious,
and lazy, and the
belief that poverty
is largely self-inflicted
is a gross
misrepresentation
of
today’s
poor,
and
the

ludicrous
nature of this still prevelant
defintron
is
<appropriately
exposed.
The statistics
found within
the report stand for
themselves:
“nearly
two thirds
(63 per cent) of
low-income
family
heads worked
for at least part
of the year; 38 per cent gained most of their income from wages and salaries, and another
21 per
cent were
self-employed;
37 per cent of lowincome
family
heads worked
full-time
during
the
‘year.” Thus we see the true picture
of the poor,
not as the lazy shiftless
p&asites
many visualize,
but to‘s
large extent
as families,
working,
yet
unable to provide
an adequate
standard
of living
‘for themselves
-not
poor because
they have no
desire to work but poor in spite of working.
./

T

IliE. MYTH OF equal opportunity,
sustained
by
OUL publicly
accepted
system
of ‘free-enterprise
capitalism’
is similarly
no longer
a responsible
means of discounting
poverty
as the fault of the
poor. The report
presents
a coherent
argument
discounting
the existence
of equal
opportunity
among
the under-priveleged;
specifically
<,within
the area of education
the poor are on a decidedly
unequal
footing
in that,they
cannot
benefit
from
the education
which
is supposedly
available
to
them,
due to their basic economic
insecurity.
Both the hardships
of economic
support
while
attending
whichever
institution,
and
the
incompatibility
of values
expressed
through
the
education
system with those of the environment
in which the poor must live create a contradiction
which is irreconcilable-resulting,
in almost every
case, in the aborting
of the individual’s
education.
As one brief presented
to the committee
put it:
“how
can children
attend
school
regularly
on
empty
stomachs,
insufficiently
clothed
for the
cold, without
having
slept well and moreover
when they can hardly
understand
the teacher.”
To compound
the restrictions
imposed
upon
the
low-income
family
within
the
education
system,
the demand
fo.r -high
educational
attainment,
often ‘unnecessarily
high
levels,
by
employers,
loocks
the door to opportunity
from
the vast majority
of the poor. The figures provided,
in the report
seem to substantiate
this point

it fails to
discuss
the role of business

This quality
of the report
is evident
in =a
comparison
between
it and the Renegade
Report
on
Poverty,
within
noticeably
the
respective‘
introductions;
in both,
the existing
‘social

are criticized
as just thatlittle more than concessions:
“behind
them’ lay. a
delicate
political
balance
between
gi_ving enough
to take the steam out of social unrest ‘and-teaving
the distribution
of power
largely
undisturbed.”
However,
the emphasis
or degree
to which
this
point
is taken
within
the two reports
is quite
different.
(This same statement
can be found
in
the
Renegade
Report
on Poverty,
with
d
small addition:
” Jeaving
the power ‘in the hands
of the few’ largely

The stress in the ‘counter-report’
tends toward
the obvious
connection
between
economic
and
and the existing
hesitancy
of
.political
power,
governing
parties
to
rectify
it;
in fact
the
government
ploicies,
adhered
to in the past, and
still in evidence
today, is to leave business almost
exclusively’
to it’s own working-aid
it, out of
public monies, when necessary,
but do not restrict
it. An examination
of the final recommendations
of the report
is all that is needed to demonstrate
that
the invulnerability
df the business
community,
fromgovernmental
criticism
and
intervention,
is still
fecognized.
Except
for
a
suggestion
for the organization
of labour within

there are no obligations

BY
FAR THE major
recommendatioti
of the
special
senate
committee
was that of a guarnateed annual income,
and the presentation
of it
as a right.
not a privelege’
is duly noted
as an
unexpectedly
enlightened
outlook.
However
the
relevance
seems to wane as one reads further-

the initial minimum’wage
is to be set at 70 per
cent of the poverty
line and single unattached
persons
under 45 will not be covered
upon implementation.
What
kind of guaranteed
annual
income is being proposed
that will do nothing
but
maintain
a family at a level 30 per cent below the
poverty
line?
What
kind of guaranteed
annual
income
is it
that is not guaranteed
for all members
of society?
As well
as these
incongruencies,
there
is, no
mention
of controls
being plackd upon industry
to
pay a living wage, except that the minimum
wages
shotild
be raised to 60 per cent of the average
wage in the / commuriity.
tn other
words,
if a
community
is leving
with
a very
low average
wage will be 40 per cent
wage, the minifnum
lower-and
in some cases, it is likely to be below
inadequacies
of
the poverty
line. The glaring
Croll’s. recommendation,
as he presents
it, are all
too obvious,
especially
to those
now living
in
poverty.
The

recommendations
embodied
in
exhibit
the
all tog
common characteristic
of impotence-there
is almost
a predestiny
about them, as if regardless
of what
the investigation
unearthed,
these, and only these,
recommendations
were to be forwarded.
There is
no new
approach
to the
‘poverty
problem’
presented,
and the maintenance
of the existing
social, economic,
and political
structure,
it seems,
was the
premise
upon
which
the committee
worked.

HE RECOMMENDATlONS
within
the report
and indeed
the-- report
as a whole
exhibits
a
characteristic
which
creates
doubts
as to the
possibility
of relevant
social reform,
as proposed
by the vanguard
of thb status.quo.
This characteristic was.metaphorically
expressed
by E.H. Carr,
twenty
years ago, and it’s longevity
has been
corroborated
by all too recent experiences.
“If too
manq of our crew too much absorbed
in nostalgic
contemplation
of the. ruins
on the backward
shore,
the navigation
of the the ship goes by
default,
and the prospect
of our only means of
escape is put in serious
jeopardy.”

Until society
is willing
to question
the basic
tnents ot its own philosophies,
tinti it is wilting to
accept
the possibility
of inherent
evils within
itself; any proposal
of change,
any “ptan for the
seventies”
will be of little consequence.
Poverty- in!
Canada
is not the
enlightened
report
many
had hoped-for,
and once again our seciaf structure
has chosen to make the bes of what it has, instead
of attempting
a change i’n it’s basic outlook,
in it’s
essence.

Bowling featured
5 Pin bowling is one of the fastest
growing club activities on campus.
The club started.by
an individual
named
Norm
Sargeant
approximately
a year and a half ago,_
and has evolved through genuine
student interest.
Last year over 100 bowlers took
part in at least one day of bowling
and this number is already to be
surpassed at the half way mark.
The club has operated in the past
almost entirely on its own-paying
its own way. At the end of last
year, they had an $100.00 surplus
that they tried to donate to a
charity to send children to camp to
no avail.
This year they have made gains
in both interest and quality. From
their
highly
complicated
computerized printouts, all bowlers are
stated, cross reference,
tripled and
scores calculated.
Bowling club records show that
in the 1969-70 season, 10 iin all time
single high was 209 pins by Fred
Yagi while all time high triple was
549 pins by Dave Neville, In 1970-71
Norm
McDonald
had the high
single in 10 pins with 190 and the
high triple tiith 536 pins.
1970-715 pin records show the all
time single high being 390 pins by
Ron Senda and the triple at 874 pins
by Norm McDonald.
If you are interested
in trying 5
pin bowling regardless
of sex, age
or ability, simply come to Waterloo
lanes this sunday from 7: OO-9:00
pm and enjoy yourself.

meet of the year.

matmen have proven
. themselves
to be a threat in the
league again this year. In the’
OQAA championships
last year,
the Western
mustangs
tied the
warriors but went down 24-12 late
last term. In Wednesday’s
match
the third placed Guelph team was
defeated 24-20.
The victory was hard-fought
as
indicated by the first battle between Waterloo’s Jim Skilly whose
hustling could only earn him a
draw with Albert Tschirhart.
Consistent
winner John Barry,
showing
the effect of a rapid
weight-loss,
had to pose a comefrom-behind

to tie Ted

Tim Wenzel

ahead 8-4

77 for ‘95-some
That one statistic (17 for 95) tells
the entire story of the WarriorsHawks
basketball
game wednesday night.

’

You would think that one of those
hotshots of last week could shoot
for at least 30 per cent accuracy
from the floor, but none of them
could surpass that milestone. As a
team they made only 17 of 95 attempts for an amazingly low 18 per
.
cent.
Even though the hawks shot a
little over half as many times, they
had double the precision
and
walked away with a win from the
humbled Uniwat squad.
From
the opening
jump the
hawks assumed a 7 point lead as
few of the Warriors
shots even hit
the rim.
Things carried
on through the
first half spasmodically
with the
warriors
getting on top only once
(14-13). At this point Al Brown of
the Hawks ran into foul trouble and
was jerked off.
Our faltering
crew seemed to
relax thinking
that they would
have things in control, but Dean
and Woodburn were still in there
fighting for the mouldy goldies and
the Warriors lost ground instead of
gaining.
The half ended with WLU ahead
39 to 24.
Right after half time Kieswetter
and Skowron lead a charge that cut
the Lutheran
lead to 4 points in
what proved to be the only string of
good shooting that the team had.
However just then Brown got his
fourth foul. and got jerked again,
whereupon
Tommy
K. gave the
ball away, which turned out to be a
crucial turning point as the Hawks
never looked back.
The final tally showed 72 to 51
(and they were lucky to break 50).
Captain Jaan’s field goal percentage fell by 50 from one week
ago to a slim 14, making 3 for 21,
from the floor (Better luck next
time fella).
Paul Bilewicz led the dribbling

had to play some tough defense as
Ottawa tried to employ a singlestack offense. The concentration
on defense seemed to slow down
the’athena attack so at a half time
a switch was made into a zone.
From this the athenas were able to
control the defensive boards and
use some fast breaking tactics to
cut down the 15 point spread that
had developed.
Going into the
dying minutes the athenas had it
tied at ,5O-50 but they were unable
to hold on as they drew several
fouls which put the game just out of

Earlier in January, the Athenas
had travelled
to- ‘London
for
<Western’s eighth annual invite and
wound up in fourth place in a field
of seven.

Western
won their own meet,
also.
Last week, the Athenas opened
league ,play by defeating Lutheran,
15-7, 15-4, 15-2.

That .win leaves the girls in
second place in the league, two
points behind Western,
who are
shaping up to be the team to beat in
the OUAA this year.
Tomorrow,
the team travels to
Windsor
for another league encounter and returns Thursday
the
27th to face Guelph.

Chevrongratulations
go to York
University
trackmen
Ken Hamilton
and
Dave
Smith
for
their
initiative
in
organizing and directing
a fine meet last
weekend in Toronto.
The two athletes proved to the competitors, coaches and hopefully the athletic
directors
that indoor track and field is
sufficiently
viable to warrant its inclusion
in the regular
schedule
of university
teams.
Smith and Hamilton ignored the usual
ridiculous
practice
of segregating
the
point-score total into male and female. The
guys and chicks of the competing
teams
felt a common goal for the first time in
college competition
as their performance
counted toward a single team title.
Ten university
teams were involved
braving the elements to travel from as far
away as Sudbury for the event.
Organizer
Hamilton even found time to
get into the competition
and claimed first
place award in the 1500 metre run to lead
York to a fourth place team finish. Not a
bad effort for a team without a coach.
The warriors are not as unfortunate
as
the yoemen in that regard, but one wonders what the result would be if Arthur
Taylor
was not an employee
of the
University-would
the warriors
also be
without a track and field coach?
Queens and western have a full time
coach and the results are evident to the
competitors.
These two teams are the
constant
threats
to the Waterloo
track
team. Their coach-administrator
arranges
competitions-a
procedure
the athletes at
Waterloo have to do themselves
because
coach Arthur Taylor has his position in the
personnel department
to tax his time.
Correspondence
with other coaches,
especially
those in the U.S. becomes
almost impossible and the warriors
miss
out on some valuable competition.
The York jocks are hoping to prove to
their athletic department
that there is a
definite need for a coach. The group at
Waterloo wishes them tons of needed luck.
The warriors
had to do without mealmoney on Saturday
to ensure sufficient
meets this winter. Remember,
this is the
same team that won four conference
championships,
had the largest contingent
on a conference
team at the CIAU
championships
a few years
back,
presently
have four members
who competed with the national team, won the
team title in Saturday’s
encounter,
etc,
etc, ad bordum.
Maybe the York athletic administration
has a different perspective
and will come
through.. . Messrs.
Hamilton
and Smith
you have our good wishes and probably
soon will need our condolences.

thunderbirds

Maybe
the westerners
don’t
play
basketball
for forty minutes
with low
scores like that one. The Manitoba bisons
clipped Brandon bobcats 46-41 in league
action.

Athletes

insurances

Delegates attending the annual meeting
of the
Canadian
Amateur
Sports
Federation
approved
in principle
an insurance
plan - that would provide
low
premiums
for up to 1,,800,,000
amateur
w
athletes.
Under the plan, athletes
in low-risk
sports such as table tennis would receive
protection for as low as one dollar a year.
Hockey players would be covered for $2,
skiers for $2.50 and high risk athletes such
as parachutists
for $5.
Coverage
would
include
accident
benefits
up to $5,000; dental
care,
rehabilitation
and special tuition expenses
would be covered up to a $500 maximum.
Each sport administration
will have to
indicate whether they wish to participate
and if they do, coverage for every participant would be compulsory.
Wonder
what the cost would be for
warrior-basketball-donnybrook-insurance
to cover the teams travels to the american
south, again?

Around the leagues
Fresh off a win during the Christmas
break on the east coast, the Loyola college
warriors
still rank as the nation’s
top
hockey team.
In their last game, the warriors trounced
the Mcgill redmen 11-l in QUAA action to
retain first place in the league.
Meanwhile, out west the Alberta Golden
bears remain in first place in the western
Canadian
intercollegiate
hockey league
with a 6-l win over the Brandon bobcats.
The victory gave Alberta a 9-l record for
18 points, two better than the University
of
British
Columbia
thunderbirds.
UBC
scored late in overtime
to defeat the
Saskatchewan
huskies 3-2 and remain in
second spot.
After being humiliated
19-l by the
university
of Toronto blues, the Ryerson
squad made it nine straight
(losses, that
is) by going down to the Guelph Gryphons
8-l.
Mike Fox paced Laurentian
to’a 5-4 win
over Carleton with three goals. Bill Potter
spotted three for Carleton
in a losing
cause.
In basketball,

Coaching association
How do your find a 100,000 amateur
coaches in Canada?
This is the task John Hudson
the
executive
director
of the Coaching
Association
of Canada has. Right now
Hudson has contacted
around 5,966 but
there are still lots more to go.
The association
is not quite sure how
many coaches we have in the country but
they want to get hold of everyone to find
out what they are coaching
and more
important
to let these coaches know how
the Coaching Association
can help- them
become better coaches.
Although no one is is saying, you can bet
the reason is the ‘76 Olympics
to be staged
in Montreal.
This country
will be going all out to
create an image of being not only good
hosts but also producing
good, and that
means winning, athletes.
The only way this can be accomplished,
and this was brought
out at the International
Symposium
on the Art and
Science of Sports last fall, is to first \
produce comnetent
coaches.
It is hoped
that
the
Coaching
Association
will do the major job in this
regard.
At the moment Canada has coaches in
some 25 to 30 different sports and shortly
many of the sports will have the opportunity
to select
national
technical
directors.
On top of this, the new Association
is
drawing up a five-tier coaching plan.
The first tier will be for coaches at
elementary
school and lower age levels.
Tier 2 for senior levels including high and
sports clubs coaches. The third tier will
encompass
top club coaches and college
coaches.
The final two tiers will be for national
coaches or those capable
of coaching
Ganadian
teams in international
competition and veteran national coaches.
Hudson also hopes to create a coaches’
information
center which will have books,
charts,
articles,
loop films and other
coaching
aids readily
available
for all
coaches.
This association may be of great aid for
also getting any research findings done at
the university
level to all coaches. Often
this process is very slow and the time lage
for agetting
this research
out to the
coaches at, say the initial tier of coaching
the very young, takes many years.

On the weekend
Young held the Galt Hornets to a 8-3 draw
in Galt and on sunday in Oakville the home

In the midst of the Warrior basketball spirit another basketball league
has arisen on campus. The W.B.A. (Waterloo
Basketball
Association)
I
was established in order to let those unfamiliar
with the intricate psyche
of the game have a chance tomlearn and play the exciting sport.
There are ten teams in the league with names ranging from Halem’s
Hookers to the Deadly Dildoes.
The rules of the game were adopted from the American N.B.A. and the
excitement
that has been generated all but surpasses that of the big
league. Latest bulletins favor the Chargers.
‘Led by Mel Counts the CHARGERS
exploded into action this week.
After getting off to a slow start the CHARGERS
took a look at their internal organization
and decided to revamp the coaching staff withy two
dynamic additions. Since then the CHARGcERS have devastated
all their
sibbling challengers.
The Directors echo the words of Argo coach Leo Cahill-“Only
an act of
God can stop us now.”

With the fans, the band, the refs
and the windsor team on their side
the warriors
couldn’t get it together to grab off undisputed hold
of first place in their division. The
warriors opened fast with the first
shot off the stick of roger kropf
parting the seams. Three minutes
later stinson raked one home and
by 7: 14 it was 3-9 for the good guys
/ and the fans were going wild.
It was at about thispoint that the
repertoire
of the band
was
becoming
particularly
tiring and
sickening
and a far reaching
survey indicated that 87 percent of
the students
on campus
would
prefer new songs.
Windsor
came back with ‘one
marker to end the period’s scoring.
The second period was much like
a3 comedy
of errors
with the
referees trying hard to steal the
- show. By the seven minute mark,
windsor had tied- it up.
The warriors moved ahead 4-3 on
a goal by hall and then began
looking
tired again with windsor
putting one home on a two man
breakaway
while a man short.
Windsor moved out in front to end
the- period.
The third period looked sadly
like the second minus the “actionpacked”
scoring.
Windsor
just
didn’t have the ability to play good
hockey and the warriors
looked’
like they were going in slow
motion.
The coach pulled the goalie for
thb last minute
and windsor
finished it off at 19 :23.
Shots on net were few in number
on both sides,‘ as were penalties.
Windsor
was
assessed
two
penalties for delaying the game.
The pace of play was definitely
down
from
the win against
lutheran on the larger ice surface
of. the auditorium.
Next game is tomorrow
night
against
the guelph
gryphons.
Game time is 8 : 30 pm in the barn.

Swimming
As a warm-up to the big women’s
International
meet tomorrow,
swim fans will be seeing more
Warrior
action tonight
at 7: 30
when they take on Oakland University from Rochester LMichigan.
This is the-first
time coach Bob
Graham’s
team has faced the
Pioneers and the americans
have
an exceedingly
tough line-up.
Mike
O’Connor’s
squad
has
among others Jack Parker, an all
american small college diver who
placed second on the three metre
and fifth on the one metre boards
at the last years U.S. nationals.
Between the swimming lanes the
pioneers
best performers
are
distance freestyler
Thomas Zeeb,
breaststroker
Richard Foxlee and
David Groth who can swim anything.
The Warriors-will
be going with
their top lineup tonight
of cocaptains
George Roy. and Doug
Lorriman,
Rolfe McEwan,
Bruce
Henry and Eric Robinson.
The evening meet is expected to
be a real ‘barn burner’
for the
uniwat tankmen. On Saturday the
men shuffle off to Buffalo to take
on Buffalo

In reply to the chevron’s
cornment on the apathy’of the people of
uniwat, I want to take a stand and
explain, not justify, their apparent
policies of inaction, isolation, and
least resistance.
These so-called
students
feel
themselves
laden with what Ibsen
called “the demand of the ideal”,
the struggle after the conquest of
some
impasse.
A
modern
well known
example
of this
complex
was shown by the US
earlier in the Vietnam war in their
‘divine cause’ of quelling the ‘evils
of communism’.
.
Ask the inhabitants
of uniwat
why they do not oppose token
representation
on university
governing bodies; why they do not
take a stand on the federation;
why
they continue
to fork out $12
everytime
their vehicles are towed
by some irresponsible,
profiteering company
from non-marked,
non-parking
areas; why they do
not get together and act for the
‘common good for collective unions
land a bigger share of the prof’s
Imonopoly on educational methods.
Ask the people around you; and
the ones that do not mind sparing a
few seconds for smug replies say,
“Couldn’t
give a damn,
and
besides, if I did, there’s no time”,
and off they’d rush to their computers and libraries;
their closets
and divine causes.
This
is the majority;
the
responsible,
concerned
people of
tomorrow.
And in their tomorrow
worlds
ask them again why they do not
stop their wars, why they will not
share with their poor, why they

can’t stand together
in event of
conflict
and they’ll
be sure to
“No
time”,
and
“couldn’t
reply,
give a damn”.
So you innocent puppets with all
your stagnant,
pointed
heads,
listen while I say, “Get together or
get it up yours”.

What’s this? Rick Page down in
the chevron office at the chevron
staff meeting, telling me (in abstensia)
that my article on Carl
Sulliman is “pure shit” (‘shouldn’t

Has Richard Page finally made
it to the point where he will comment on something?
What a silly
issue to pick.
Or perhaps Page has come to a
sort of Satori where he can choose
what’s silly and what’s
not. It
would seem he is wasting his time

Not a bit. We just

For the first

stumbled into this university
three

scholar.
I salute you,
G.S. Kaufman.

of Tolkein to find buried
below
this slime of english literature,
a
speck of brilliance in the works of
Hart Burman.
For this reason, I must warn you
to beware and be brave, for there
are men in positions of power who
will laugh (yes, actually
laugh
aloud) and bring vast pressures to
bear upon your mind and body in
an attempt to prevent your journey
to the hitherto
almost forgotten
realm of Artie’s mind.
They will claim it leads to a vast
empty cavern of down into the
depths of mediocrity,
but hold your
stiff countenance
and plunge bodily inward, for once inside your
every pleasure
will be satisfied.
Fortunately,
you have come
upon the cream
of Art’s total
output and must wait in agony until
he finishes whipping up what will
eventually
be the sequel
to
“Midway

In the
meantime feel free to tap the sap of
my knowledge concerning

For those readers whose interest

YOU

Attitudes
and institutions
represent
nothing
more. than
the
patterns
of action
that
have
become
predominant
through
the multitude
of
times that they have been repeated
by human
beings. They are not axioms,
just well socialized
ha.bits; and like all habits
they can be altered
through
conscious
human
activity.
Another
aspect of the same social
content
is
that society
is the object as it requires
the activity
of the human subject
for its operation.
Man and
his social activity
are one and the same. Internal
consciousness
-can only exist to be externalized
into conscious
human
activity
and vice-versa.
Thus when roles come into.play
they cannot
be
devoid
of the people that play with them. If weexamine
the role of the faculty
we should
get a
fair idea of what the people that play those roles
are all about.
The faculty’s
role in the complicated
hierarchical structures
of the university
and of society
is
that of an administrative
bureaucracy.
The faculty
has in its possession
the affairs of the department,
they belong
to it as its private
property.
This concession
has been handed down to them
by the university
administration
who acts as its
overseer to make sure that the department
will not1
step
beyond
its boundaries
of bureaucratic
property.
Political
consciousness
is antagonistic
to- the
bureaucracy.
Authority
thus becomes
the principle of the department’s
knowledge,
and the
deification
of authoritarianism
the credo
to its
existence.
This highly unprincipled
ideal can only
turn
into
the
coarse
materialism
of
dumb
I
obedience.
The individual
bureaucrat
becomes
the mouthpiece of’ other bureaucrats.
The goals of the in’stitution
become
his private
goals: a hunting
for
higher~,3 jobs,
the
making
of
a career,
the
production
of
many
needed
mediocre
intellectuals
whose business
it will be to further
the
goals of society.
Bureaucrats,
by definition
of their role, must
always behave towards
the university,
and in turn
towards
society,
as their managers
and preservers.
In doing so, they best serve their own individual
needs and interests.
For the bureaucrat
the world
only exists to be managed
by him, even if in
managing
it he works
contrary
to human
principles.

lies in the premise
that
society
is not a given datum,
but an outcome
of
human
agency.
The
patterns
of action
that
become
the foundation
not only of our attitudes
but also of our
institutions
;are the result
of

The
demand
for
a department
based
on
collective
co-operation
from students
and faculty
in the allocation
of resourses
stands
in an antagonistic
position
vis-a-vis
the faculty’s
role in
the university
and society.
It also stands in an

antagonistic
position
in relation
to apathetic
students.
Many people are going to object
to this
classification
on the grounds
that they are aware
of their contradictory
cposition.
But wait! lf such were the case, why have they
not taken proper
measures
to break through,
the
relationships
based on roles? Why did they not
help when there was a general movement
towards
reforming
the department
in a meaningful
way?
tias thehprospect
of living a life based on role
relationships
between
people suddenly
become
so
attractive
that
it has
overshadowed
human
principles?
Have
even
the most
radical
been
bought out by the system? Practice
is the only way
to answer
these questions.
Practice’s
answer
to
date is yes!

Changing consciousness
The philosophy
of a collective
department
would
of necessity
stand
in opposition
to the
position
of the university
as a working
institution
in present society.
It would stand in opposition
to
the premise
that human
behavior
must be dictated
by the axioms
of prevailing
institutional
structures.
The institutions
are there to serve man;
not the other way around.
A meaningful
educational
experience
is one
where
all are active
in determining
that
experience.
Under
this framework
students
and
faculty
have equal access and equal responsibility
in the allocation
of resources.
The individ’ualist
approach
to education
is not a
mere reflection
of societal
process,
it is an active
and important
part of that process.
In a similar
way, the collective
approach
to education
cannot
simply reflect a radical critique
of society.
It must
be an active
element
in reshaping
that society.
The reform
of consciousness
means
nothing
more than acquainting
the world
with
its consciousness,
waking the world up from the dream it
is dreaming
about itself, explaining
to the world
the nature
and
import
of
its own
actions.
Consciousness
must
be reformed
not through
dogmas
but through
an analysis
of the web of
mystifications
into which
it has been entagled
be
they
religious,
political,
social,
economic,
cultural,
or psychological.
Once
the realm
of
imagination
has
been
revolutionized,
reality
cannot hold out. If some individuals
feel that their
imagination
has been revolutionized,
then their
job becomes
one to revolutionize
other people’s
imaginations
and to change
reality.

But watch
how problems
are solved.
Are-these
solutions
going
to strengthen
the
power
ant
consolidate
the
position
of privileges
in the
department
of are they going
to break
down
privileged
positions?
Once the intial steps have
been taken, the ball will only be kept rolling at the
price of constant
mobilization
around
issues that
uncover
the contradictions
of society.
This position
places
th.e students
in an antagonistic
position
with the faculty.
The only way
to change this position
is for the faculty
to forego
its
privileged
position
in
favor
of
uniting
collectively
with the students.
It is the real human activity
of individuals
who
are actively
-involved
in the process
of determining their own experience,
people who work,
play, think, suffer, enjoy, and in every way act as
human beings in control
of their own destiny
will
determine
through
praxis, the outcome
of history.

REFERENDUM
72

I

S THE FEDERATION
DEAD? If so then
the february
23rd
fees referendum
is
nothing
more than a post-mortem.
But reconsideration
of that. statement
is due
in light
of the
federation’s
evolution
and what
it has done in the
years since its initiation.
Between
19.57
and
1964
several
proposals
for a constitution
to form the
federation
of students
were s’uggested.
In
march
1964,
the
students
council
recommended
the student
body accept a
constitution
that would ensure “the right
of every
student
to sound
democratic
government”.
Students
voted 93 percent
to accept a
constitution
that
would
give
them
a
voice in gaining
back power
in the universi ty.
ljniversities
in the
fourteenth
and
fifteenth
century
were originally
constituted to give all- power
to the students.
Over the centuries,
students
have lost
that
control.
The
formation
of
the
federation
provided
the opportunity
for
students
to win back at least part of that
power.
In
1966,
the
federation
helped
organize
a sit-in in the bookstore
which
resulted
in the lowering
of the costs of
books to all students.
In 1967 several
students
were thrown
out of their rooms
and apartments.
The
federation
dealt
with
these
and eventually took to court and won three cases
involving
students
and their
landlords.
Also in 1967, the federation
acted on
behalf of students
in donating
the largest
non-compulsory
pledge
made
by
a
student
body in Canada
to the university’s tenth anniversary
fund. Over half a
million
dollars
was made available
for
buildings
on this campus.
April
1968 saw the federation
work
with
the various
societies
to obtain
a
three dollar compulsory
f.ee for society
activities.
Early -in the summer
term
of 1968,
student-landlord
hassles resulted
in the
federation
joining
with
the
tenants’
association
in a fight
against
abusive
landlords.
A housing shortage
in the fall
brought
about “Tent City/‘-a
short term
solution
to the housing
crisis until the
federation
could help students
find more
permanent
accomodation.
In the same year the federation
was
I instrumental
in setting
up
a block

-

Now it’s everyone into the pool
booking
conference
that
reduced
the
prices of groups not only for this campus
but for just about
every
university
in
Ontario.
It has since organized
two other
such conferences
that have
benefit&d
Waterloo
students
further
and student
bodies
in other
provinces
and in the
1Jnited States.
October
1968 came and the federation
initiated
student
picketing
of the construction
site of village
2. The issue was
overcrawded
conditions
and administrations’
ignoring
student
demands
when
designing
the new residence.
The administration
backed
down and met with
the federation,
which
eventually
won
concessions
in the room design
of the
residence.
Earlier, students
from vario”us faculties
took over the campus
center and ousted
campus
center
director,
Paul Gerster.
The federation
met with then-operations
vice-president
Al Adlington
and provost
Bill Scott to negotiate
the terms
under
which
the federation
would
run
the
campus
center.
The same month
the federation
put
forth
a recommendation
for
a new
university
government.
This came after
the
administration
members
of
the
corn m i ttee
had
not
suggested
any
change in the current koverning
structure
of the university,
after
two
years
of
discussions.
The
federation
basically
rec’ommended
the
formation
of a one-tier
governing
body
of 60 members
with
student
members.
It also recommended
putting
students
on existing
committees
and redefining
departments
to ensure
more. student
participation
in them.
It
further
suggested
a review
body
be
created
that
would
include
100-300
persons from every aspect of university
and society.
The university
act committee
accepted
the proposal
of a one-tiered
structure
and
student
membership.
This occurred
only
aft?r four more months
of deliberation
on the pat? of the administration.
In march,
the
federation
counci I
supported
a sit-in by a group of students
in the arts library.
This resulted
in extending
library
hours
to
a 24 hour
operation
during
the week
and more
circulation
hours on the weekends.
1969 was the year of the quiet, behindthe-scenes
planning
and dealing with the
administration.
It was the year council
condemned
the exploitation
of females
in entertainment
on
the
campus.
Research
into what
defense
and other

government
arrangements
the admitiistration
had was also carried
out.
Then
1970 the year of the sandbox.
This was the year that
the federation
cracked
down
on entrepreneurs
who
charged
outrageous
prices
for
movies
and dances.
As a result,
the federation
came
to
agreement
with
the
administratio‘n
that only federation
fixed
low prices could be charged
for dances,
pubs -and movies
on campus.
Although
the federation
was
concerned-about
running
the entertainment
end of student services,
it was able to get
an
increase
in the
library
budget.
Federation
monies
were
also
made
available
to set up the birth
control
center.
Earlier this year: the federation
wori<ed
hard to bring changes
in the university
act committee
and was succezsful
in
getting student
observers
on the senate.
These
will
become
members
on the
senate
with
the approval
of the new
university
of Waterloo
act expected
to be
passed
by the Ontario
legislature
this
spring.

The federation
has also continued
its
policy
of providing
students
with more
economical
and recent
release
movies,
pubs, concerts
and dances.
The federation
retains a lawyer to act
on behalf
of any student
on campus.
Money
is also available
for bail should
the need arise.
What
do
you
expect
from
the
federation
for twenty-two
dollars?
More
than this? The federation
is only as strong
as its members
make it.
For an organiz’ation
that
has little
leverage,
it is definitely
effective.
No one
can dispute
that.
Only
its members
can see that
it
continues
to be an outlet
for student
voice.
Voting
to retain the compulsory
fee will ensure
that.

Then there was the mathsoc pub Wednesday night-well
attended by about thirty members from
the gay liberation movement: the most interesting point of the night was the observation that on
this campus, at least, both hetero and homosexuals are equally bad dancers. Then again, who can
“dance” crammed into the middling dance area of the campus center pub; there’s room to perform
one’s own private exorcism in typical stilted.fashion
and nothing more...Then th&-e was the de-’
lousing of the campus center this week: why do you suppose the de-lousing comes after the
cleaning and not before? But if that is indeed a fair question, so is this one-who
crossed the
chicken first, the egg 0; the road? Then there was the matter of Carl Sulliman, former vicepresident of the federation qf students. Where is he, a chevron writer asked recently. He is now in
Toronto; dean of students at DeVries institute of technology...Then
there is the matter of the
up-coming referendum to decide the fate of the present activity fee turned over to the federation of
students. Many articles will appear in the chevron in the coming weeks dealing with this subject;
you will recognize them by the special referendum
logo. For those of you who never think about
anything other than how sordid life is, maybe this can be your turning point. But be careful which
way you turn-there
are long-term aspects to consider...Then there was new year’s eve halfway
between St. John and Calais, New Brunswick:
celebrated by four in a Volkswagen with a blue
cheese sandwich and bottle of Moosehead each. Figure that one out...Then there was the monday
staff meeting; then there was the staff for this issue: at it in entertainment
with unusual dexterity,
savoyer fayr and nasty graphics we were and are: david cubberley, mary e. holmes, ian angus, lynn
bowers, paul stuewe,‘george kaufman, and janet stoody who successfully and masterfully handled
her first stint at the helm. p.s.-will the mothers who keep ripping-off our books and records think
for a moment about whether there isn’t in fact a distinction that should be made between those
who exploit the Canadian people and those who are trying to end the exploitation:
probably you
won’t, cause that’s what constitutes being a mother in the first place...pigies...and photographers
were brian cere, gord moore, randy hannigan, doug baird, Scott gray, peter Wilkinson and helmut
zisser...and in the sports corner by the fridge (and the beer) the gang was wheels, ron smith, larry
burko, george neeland, peter hopkins, dennis mcgann, debbie smith, norm beers, randy hannigan,
skrinn, sally kemp, paula jordan, roy pareteno, peter mccarthy and lotsa gutsy enthusiasm...and in
